Looking good, Jay. That cockpit has quite a lot of nice detail - complete sidewall ribbing and wood grain floor - that's pretty impressive for an older kit. The old Revell US bombers, like the B-17, B-24, B-25 and B-26 are similarly detailed, of course, but this is the best I have seen from Revell in a single engine design. Usually they have somewhat sparser interiors, as in the Hurricane Spiros is working on. You are doing a nice job on the painting and your efficiency in getting this assembled is admirable. I guess you must be looking forward to the getting that camo done and the snake for sure. Erasing some raised rivets along the fuselage seam shouldn't be a big deal. You might find a way to continue the sanding to a panel line to make it less visible, but probably it will be fine. I also like George's method of using masking tape to limit the sanded area.

Thank you Colin @coling !

This kit does have an above average cockpit for the era it is from. The pilots were were not so fortunate ... they weren’t very nice at all.

I am looking forward to the painting ... that my favorite part of the build process.
I received a tip on seams from @mornem . He suggested using a correction fluid pen to fill narrower seams with correction fluid and then that can be sanded down. I went to the office supply store, they had white out correction fluid in a bottle, but the pens were sold out. I need to check back in a few days. Seems like a good idea for seams.

I’m glad I found imodeler.com, @michel-verschuere, I’ve learned a lot and have gotten to know some nice people all over the world, we all share the love of styrene.

The Revell Stuka is one of my sentimental favorite kits of all times, having built one in the early 1970s. Seeing it waiting for me on the consignment table , was a momentous event . Some collector of old 1/32 Revell & Hasegawa kits had left his entire stash there to be sold.

This is positive progress, my friend @ssgt. Bit by bit, you will soon have the basic model assembled!
I agree with your decision to leave the delicate flaps and dive brakes off for the moment.
Looking forward to your progress!

Awesome progress on your Stuka. I am excited to see your progress on the BIG Stuka. This will surely be an eye catching Desert Snake!

Fitting seems indeed great, Jay @ssgt
I do agree as well to mount those fragile flaps at the last moment.

This kit is a fun kit to build , @gblair, no fit issues and not an excess of teeny parts . If a person was so inclined, it would be nice to put some wires ,lines, and other odds & ends on the engine.

This is coming along very nice, Jay.

Funny thing, if you want to pick nits, this kit has its share to pick, but when it's done nicely, the result looks good regardless. Just don't stick it next to a Hasegawa kit, or even one of the Trumpeter kits. Certain things will become obvious that aren't so obvious when the model is there on its own. I did one that's been out at Chino for several years and still looks nice behind glass.
